Exegesis
The conjunction u {וּ | wə} links this to a second clause where tsedakah {צְדָקָה | ṣə-dā-qā(h)} ‘righteousness’ is subject of the hiphil verb tatzil {תַּצִּיל | taṣ-ṣîl} ‘will deliver’, governing the prepositional phrase mimavet {מִמָּוֶת | mimmā-weṯ} ‘from death.’ The parallel structure contrasts fruitless gain with life-preserving deliverance, rendering the imperfect as a general truth in English.
In context — Proverbs 10:2
Treasures of wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.
